Rescuing chickens around the cluck

Café Hope

Available for over a year

Volunteer at Chicken Rescue UK, Jenny Betts, tells Rachel Burden about how she helps ex-commercial chickens find their forever homes. Her work won her a BBC Local Radio Make a Difference Award. Café Hope is our virtual Radio 4 coffee shop, where guests pop in for a brew and a chat to tell us what they’re doing to make things better in big and small ways. Think of us as sitting in your local café, cooking up plans, hearing the gossip, and celebrating the people making the world a better place. We’re all about trying to make change. It might be a transformational project that helps an entire community, or it might be about trying to make one life a little bit easier. And the key here is in the trying. This is real life. Not everything works, and there are struggles along the way. But it’s always worth a go. You can contact us on [email protected]
